H~e said he had comle simply to thanik them for the honor conferred on him: anid not to speak, but rather to ask themn to. excuse him from speaking. Hie had travelled three days and night<, made speeches at al most every station on the way, atnd had spok en three tinies to-day. Cries of go on, go on, at this point, compelled the orator to proceed. He said when be was last in Richmond, there was some necesaity for speaking ton them, but since that time they had all been converted, and, as far as he could see, there was not the least sign of backsliding. (Cries of no., no! none none !) It wasl not necessary, therefure, to make any argument, for thecy were all right. Hie was proud of Virginia, the land of Washington, Henry, bladison, Monroe, .Jef ferson, the Lees, Pendleton, and a ho4t of others, who fought for the principle of self three-quarters of a century, are contending for the same great principle, and they will succeed. He would not go into any detail of his views of the war, but would say that if the enemy proceeded to cross the border, very minky wedc:ld never return. (Here there was voiciferous cheering, showing the speaker had touched the popular heart.) After apolo 'izing :gain for the absence of the President, and excusing himself, he retired amidst loud cheers. The people, having had a speech, appeared satisfied and dispersed. We learn that the President and the Hon. L. T. Wigfall made brief speeches at the Caunip of lustruction yesterday evening. Richmond Eramuiner. The Richmond Inquirer, in noticing the visit of the President to the Fair Grounds, gives us the following report: "On leaving his saddle, the President was t surrounded by an eager crowd ofsoldiers and civilians, whom he indulged to a hand-shak ing performance until the pressure became so great that he was compelled to retire to the balcony of the Executive Department, where, i response to the demands of the assemblage, h( dlivered the following brief and pertinent - peech:i ".Mv friends and fellow-citizens : I am deep ly impres.sed with the kindness of your moan lhstation. 1 look upn yuti a- the hast best h'vce (fi liberty ; and in our liberty alone is our co:stitut owar cgovernmewnt to he pre served.

The butchery of Jackson, 'the first patriot martyr of' 'ir'gir.iu, reveaels the true obje'cts and design~s of the V'aiedals who hav~e invaded our soil. The leader of the thieves and buglars of New Yoerk, when he violated the house of a respectable and quiet citizen of Virginia,. was merely initiating a campaign w'nch is desigtned to t~e the most takless and brual of muodern times. The wretch fell, it is t'rne, by a hand as brave and fearless ats ht which smote the gigantic G;aul, who dared to touch the heard of the Roman Seua teer, in the Senate Chamber; butt wvhile the incidenet icmmortalized a hero, and ecnded the existence of a runliant, it also) teaches us a most imnpressiv'e lesson.

That Eheet is first bletchcd with an article purporting to estab lish the proposition that "King Cuotoe enn.ot figit." Immediately following this stupil product of a crazed ingenuity, comes :in effort to show thati England will not be dependent for her supply o cotton for the r't season upon the Confederate States; and that, therefore, a persistent and gin erul biockade of Southern lorts need not and will not give her the least umbrage. As this is a interial point if true, we ,resent in parrs, the sum and substance of the Eroeoint~ showing. Of the 2.322,000 bales of cotton used by England annually, about 1,6:3,0110 have been Auierican.

We quote, from Drt a itlx'S /Hyi.ter tf iJhbatef, V.4. 1, page 72. a part of Mr. Pasxaatv's re anarks. Onae of his points has been signally illus. trate.l within the last month: " If ever the public money was wasted, and "auanderel away, it was in the appropriations for that work. It was a work not necessary to pro. test the city of Charleston: it obstructed the ebannel, unal it spoiled its harbour: and he never understood why it had been undertaken. Fort Mlultric was sunicelnt for the protection of the city ; by mneans of which one of the most ucito rable victories hal been obtained, which the an als of this counaatry recorded. If, when badly provileda in every respect, and incompletely mann ed, it was sulicinut to do this,-muast it not lie mualh more so now, when it was well officered. and mnanned, well found in all the requisites of at fort, and had been put in a cundition of cotuilete repair. Iaat there wa- another and a higher objection to its couatianhace. A gentleman raom Pennsyl vania, the other ay had desired the erection of a fort lar the protection of the city of Philadelphia, agai:st a foreign foe, who might if the city wele left undefenaaktd. omae upon them and burn their city to ashes. The citizens of Charleston wanted no ore forts. They had been taught by melan choly experience, that a tort erected for their pro teetin aagaiaat a forrigna foe, might be used for other rlaiurposes ; might lae used by an American President against thenselves: yes, such hud been the case as td that very fort, ina which their fathers had fought anal bled in the caume of American in. dependence-these very guns which had been usal against their British enemies, had beaen turned, nout oatwarki, towards the sea, and pointed against a hareign faae: bat inaward, towards the city of Ciialeston: realy. at the word of the President to lay the city in a.hea to slaughter its citizens. atid deluge its streets in bloaid. And this had Leen dane by virtue of an act,. called " the force act !" An act which invested the Presilent, with aaore than dictatorial power and authority-gave himt the inrer, at his will :aal pleaure, to remnove their caastomaa.houases -ona botard aun tarmaed vessel, liu turan their aown furts tagainast themaaselves, anld ifI athey adurt to adispaute air muaarmaur, to silenace their adacity with their aawn gunaas.

From our Volunteers in Virginia. Cart., MAxAuSAS .1 e'xnaox, May 21;.1861. Drr Coalael.--We left lRichmond on Tuesday, the 22d inst., about four o'clock in the evening. We ar'e encamped at Manussas Junction, twenty seven miles from Alexandria. The Second Regi. ment, Col. Kansnaw, left the next any, but did not reach here until nine o'clock last night. The delay was. ocesiored by a collision which took place at Culpepper Court Ilouse, resulting in tLe immediate death of two men, and six shockingly mangled. I have not been able to learn the names of the ill-fated persons. Trains also arrived last night bringing the Columbi-.Ajtillery and Rich. bond Howitzers, two of thcom' r nized Artillery Corps in this State. i ber of troops, (including two superb Companies of troopers which have just arrived,) stationed here, will not fall greatly short of five thousand men. News was brought yesterday morning of the evacuation of Alexandria. We did not credit it at first, but subsequent reports confirmed it. The myrmidos of the !n;oon entered the city ten thousand strong, as our men were filing out of it. On it a itman named Jackson, the keeper of a hotel in Alexandrii, killed the notorious Zouave Col. Ellswoarth by shooting him with It pistol. Ells worth demanded admission into his house, which was refused. Ellsworth attempted to force his way, whereupon Jackson drew out his pistol and shot hiin dead on the spot. In tids summary manner should all misereants be dealt with. But there is a darker shade to the picture. The Zou are determined to revenge the death of their chief. With the ferocity of jungle-tigers they hunted down their quarry. They pierced Jackson literally to pieces with their bayonets. Such is - the statement of this super-tiendish outrage which we have received hero, and there is no good ground to believe it is at all exaggerated. .Tackson's brother, it is said, passed here Thursday morning on his way to Alexandria. You doubtless remember a fellow who gave his name as F. H. CA:;IIF::, and kept a pinchback shop for some time in your village. He was sus pected of abolition proclivities, and, as well as-I recollect, put himself to the trouble of getting som one to write him a vindication from the charge, which appeared in the A drrlier. At last, he absconded for parts unknown. He now turns up here, where he was arrested and exam ined on the cars. lie wason his way to Connecti cut, his native place ; whither he was at length suffered to proceed without worse resulta-than a pretty severe fright. Tfae scamp did not want to recognise the Ed.rfield Ihopaa, and bthaved towrrds them as though they were utter strangers. But he soon discovered they were hard acquaintances to cut. Nearly every train brings us word of the ene. ny's approach. Yoster-night our Regiment was thrown forward as a vanguard, and bivouacked~ :even miles from the camp. Troops are almost hourly coming in, rad by ,he next mails you may expect to hear we have had a tilt with the enemy. Excuse brevity, as my hurry ceniels me to write enrreate colauaaon. Truly ! W. J.
